This study evaluates the performance of a test installation of Light Emitting Plasma (LEP) lighting and a wireless lighting control system, as compared to incumbent High Pressure Sodium (HPS) lighting, in a high mast application at a study site in northern California. The study evaluates energy...

This project examines the site net energy consumption of a sample of units in the UC Davis West Village community. The primary goals were to (1) study energy consumption and production in order to determine if this West Village sample is achieving its zero net energy goals and (2) determine the...

The project evaluated the performance of the 15W Amerlux Hornet LED fixture as a potential replacement for a variety of low voltage halogen MR16 track lighting applications in a Northern California Safeway grocery store. Given their small form factor and design, which enables them to provide a...

To better understand the potential for energy savings through the implementation of bi-level lighting controls in exterior parking and pedestrian spaces, motion detection and data acquisition technologies were installed in selected areas at a total of eight sites in SCE, BPA, and PG&E...

This project was created to develop the National Advanced Lighting Controls and Certification (NALCAC) program. The NALCAC program is being designed to provide significant increases in energy efficiency (EE) and demand response (DR) capabilities in the lighting and advanced controls systems that...

This project is intended to explore best practice best design concepts for lighting improvements to showroom/showroom offices, and front lot as a pre-cursor to testing the design in a future phase. The study will utilize an actual site to audit to determine the potential for energy efficiency. This...

This project is intended to finalize development of the CALCTP training and implement courses to introduce the level of understanding needed to install advanced lighting technologies into the market. Provide an administrator of the CALCTP to perform the day-to-day operations of the training program...

This project partnered with ACE Hardware’s Distribution Center located in Rocklin, CA and tested the integration of High Bay Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting fixtures with integrated sensors and an aggressive Advanced Lighting Control System (ALCS) to realize the deepest energy savings possible...

The project’s objective is to identify scalable, deployment-ready technologies that can hasten the transition to zero net energy homes in PG&E territory. Four of a total of fourteen existing residential structures, the Domes, at UC Davis were retrofitted with energy efficiency improvements...

Project SummaryThe main objective of this project is to evaluate how well the Honda Smart Home achieves the design goals of reaching zero net energy (ZNE) performance while providing a high level of service to occupants.  The project compares modeled energy use estimates to actual energy...
